Mid-Morning Open Thread
Love Of Venus And Mars
Carlo Saraceni
Carlo Saraceni (1579 – 16 June 1620) was an Italian early-Baroque painter, whose reputation as a "first-class painter of the second rank" was improved with the publication of a modern monograph in 1968.It's Wikipedia, so it might be completely off base, but you really can't beat "first-class painter of the second rank" as damning with faint praise. At first glance it is a fine work, but my preconceived notions made me look more carefully and find some pretty obvious flaws. I wonder whether if it had been labeled a Caravaggio or a Rubens I would have been so critical?

Those two statues in the wall seem to be leaning out to whisper to each other. There's a face in the tapestry that looks like a disapproving marm.
What on earth are all the cherubs up to, and why does only one have wings?
The only thing that does make sense is Mars' body language. "No really, I have to go. I have war stuff to do". While Venus' expression is "really? All that to get me in the sack and now you're just going to leave? Got what you wanted?".

China is now in a position where their economic successes may be sufficient to deter them from fostering North Korea's belligerence any further. Trump's chat with the Chinese president seems to have made it clear that it is not in their or our interest to fight one another, and that the status quo would evaporate if we were to fight one another.
Is Russia in that same place or are they willing to risk what they have by retaliating militarily, should it happen that the U.S. goes after the Norks militarily? What provocation will it take to bring them to open hostility? What factual basis is there to convince the Russians that a hot war with the U.S. is not in their economic interests?
At a time when Trump openly said it would be better to get along, if that could be possible, the Democrats continue to poison the Russian-American relationship. The Russians (and the Chinese) have always liked their proxies as a way to destabilize the U.S. But now, it may have occurred that Trump has convinced China that destabilization is not in anybody's interest. What will it take to convince Democrats (or Americans who identify as Democrats) that they are destabilizing as well?

Yep. There's a funny story about how Mercury(?) found out about the affair and told Vulcan. Instead of confronting the lovers, he set them up. He invited the rest of the gods to come into their chamber and embarrass them instead. It worked. Venus was humiliated and never heard the end of it.

Yeah, I know. I hate to be "that guy". Symbolism in art is a huge issue tho. Cherubs are angels. They represent godly ideals. They would never be in a painting like this. I think, however, that the influence of putti is the reason cherubs look like winged children. In the Bible, cherubs are more creature-like.

Also, those aren't cherubs. They're called "putti". Cupid is the larger
one with the wings. The putti are his assistants, and are fun-loving,
little beings. They are playing with Mars' armor--probably playing with
the visual effects the curve of the shield creates with their
reflections--like a fun-house mirror.

Well they were sort of related, it depends on the myth. Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera, but Aphrodite was either Zeus's daughter by Dione, or she rose from the sea after Zeus, Pluto, and Poseidon cut off their dad Uranos' wang and threw it into the ocean. Note: they didn't just emasculate him, they cut him in to many little pieces and threw them all over so he wouldn't heal.
She was married to ugly Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the gods, to try to teach her a bit of humility and self control but she spent her days sleeping with every guy except him.

And then they had a chance to spend a weekend with Boston with some people in show business, and they ended up spending a lot of time with the girls in Bananarama. Lumley and Saunders said they were both just awestruck, those girls were the most hard core alcoholics they had ever seen, started slugging down vodka the moment they got up and didn't quit till they dropped. She said "That's it!!" and Absolutely Fabulous was born.
(there's a scene where Edina falls out of a cab backwards on her ass trying to get out of it, she said that was something she really saw happen during that weekend)

Nope -Venus/Aphrodite was actually on of the Olympian Goddesses who was not a direct descendant of Jupiter/Zeus . You will recall, particularly from the famous Botticelli painting, that she arrived, fully grown, out of the sea and is a goddess of a more ancient magic. Apparently when Kronus, the Titan, was vanquished he was cut into pieces they were thrown into the sea. The magic of that act caused the sea to churn and foam and out of the foam and waves arose the Goddess of Love herself.

Depends on their licensing agreements with the studios. The studios may not want to release a show in order to preserve some kind of audience on their own streaming service. Like the money from an agreement with Netflix wouldn't be enough for their interest.
There are a lot of free things that they could house as well, but they don't seem all that interested in silent movies.

Posted by: The Crew of The Hindenburg at April 19, 2017 10:40 AM (FZYNt)
Since trucking is all about weight - I doubt we'll see this go much further than a proof-of-concept. I would think the tanks needed to store the hydrogen safely are going to be heavy. Refueling will be a bitch since the infrastructure isn't in place where anyone can pull up and get a tankful of hydrogen. Plus how much space would they take up as opposed to the diesel tanks typically used?

I have over 400 movies in my queue and only about 12 are in the Saved section (meaning the company doesn't have the discs). Some are for obvious attrition, but others may just be because they don't have them yet (Tale of Tales has never been on my active queue, for instance).
I've read some worse stories from other random people who say that almost everything their queue gets unsent, but I'm betting those queues are about 10 movies long and are all new stuff.

I don't know. Hydrogen doesn't really explode unless it's mixed with oxygen. If a leak were to catch fire, it would just be a jet of blue flame (that's true with LNG, too, by the way). Obviously you can't store the equivalent of energy value of compressed hydrogen in the same space as liquid hydrocarbon, but if a truck were making local runs and always coming back to the same garage, and the refueling was by solar electrolysis of water, it just might make economic sense.

And even if it is, it has to be at the right ratio to actually explode. Plus it's lighter than air, so H2 from a ruptured tank would be likely to dissipate before anything bad happens. Local deliveries out of a hub with H2 facilities would definitely be a good application.

Right; her name means "foam" in Greek. Since they didn't grow up together in the same Olympian house, so to speak, there wouldn't have been an "ick" factor; she wouldn't have been thought of as a sister.
Not that the Olympians would have let that stop them, if the female was good looking enough.

Women who were pale and had a bit of meat on their bones were considered attractive up until the 20th century. In an era or place when most people struggle to eat, plumpness is a status symbol (still true in India today).
As for the white skin, remember all those Southern women in Gone With the Wind taking pride in their pale skin and fretting about getting sunburned? It wasn't just the South and due to race. Peasants and menial workers got tans. Ladies preserved their pale complexions.
Much of what we consider beautiful is a reflection of our own status system. It's harder and takes more time and money to be thin and fit nowadays then it does to be fat. Tans became fashionable once most people started working indoors.

163 USA Today came out with a list of the top 10 polluted cities in America. Six of them are in California. To be fair, the smog in some of those cities was around long before there was any industry. At least that's what I was told being from Redlands, CA. Still pretty ironic.
Posted by: Independent George at April 19, 2017 10:24 AM (BDZWU)
Modesto, Visalia, Fresno and Bakersfield are all in the San Joaquin Valley, which has a permanent inversion layer in the atmosphere that traps every last bit of smog. You could shut down every last factory and industry in those towns and they'd STILL have smog.

She does a really good job with the part, its one of my favorite roles on the show. She's concerned about her hubby and troubled by some of the stuff that happens to him but still supportive and good to him. She's got her own life, but its built around her family rather than her own self.
The show didn't hold my attention well, it was a bit too contrived and the Reagans get way too much focus; every single big case has at least 1 involved in it, which is a bit much to expect in a city that size.

I probably did. The version I own is from the Criterion Collection and comes in two cuts: the original 1922 silent and the recut version called Witchcraft Through the Ages narrated by William S. Burroughs.
There's also a small book about the making of the movie, Witchcraft Through the Ages: The Story of Haxan, the World's Strangest Film, and the Man Who Made It:

Jenner has always seemed like a creep to me. I saw an interview he did once where he dismissed his first wife as a nobody, just somebody he met in college. That was the wife who worked to support him while he was training for the Olympics. They had a kid together and then, after Jenner became famous, he left her for Elvis' ex-girlfriend, but came back once for a booty call. The first wife became pregnant a second time, but Jenner didn't want her to have the baby. The baby was a girl, and when she was a teenager (and Jenner was married to third wife Kris and supporting her Kardashian kids), Bruce's daughter called to ask Bruce for something, and he told her he shouldn't have to give her his money, because he'd never even wanted her to be born in the first place.
Just a vile person. Even before all his freakiness became public.
